I m currently bringing Planelo to Android, and I just hit a classic indie dev roadblock. Google rejected my production access because they want to see more "real-world engagement" during the closed testing phase.
As a solo dev, reaching that 14-day active usage threshold for 20 people is quite a challenge. I m looking for a few more early birds to help me cross the finish line!
Claude is genuinely impressive, but it doesn t remove the need to understand programming fundamentals. You still need to know how systems connect, where data lives, how state is managed, what environments are (dev vs staging vs production), how deployments work, and how things actually run (& fail) in the real world.
For developers, Claude is an incredible accelerator. For non-programmers, it can feel magical at first, but at some point, real engineering knowledge becomes unavoidable.
The internet doesn't need another static directory of projects. It needs adrenaline, competition, and a real reason to keep shipping better versions of your work. That s why I m launching DailyPitch.
The Concept: Every day is a clean slate. Every day, builders step into the arena to pitch their projects. And every day, the community decides: Who wins today?
The Reward (Beyond the Glory): Winning on DailyPitch isn't just about ego. It s a long-term investment in your project s growth:
Permanent Hall of Fame: Every winner is forever enshrined in our daily calendar.
The Power of Do-Follow: Your project receives a permanent do-follow backlink directly from our site.
Compounding SEO Value: As DailyPitch grows in authority and traffic, the value of your winner s link increases over time.
The Dominance Bonus: If you manage to win multiple days, you secure multiple unique backlinks, giving your project a massive SEO boost.
The most great ideas hit you when you re away from your workstation. Planelo Web was built to remove the friction between a "spark of inspiration" and "execution."
With our new Public Beta, you get a powerful Kanban-based workspace accessible from any browser. Whether you are juggling game dev, a startup, or a hobby project Planelo ensures no thought ever falls through the cracks.
I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who tried Planelo after the launch and took the time to share feedback, suggestions, and bug reports.
I ve been going through all of it carefully and I m already working on a new update that focuses on fixing the most painful issues first and polishing the overall experience. An improved version with these fixes will be live very soon
If you want to be part of shaping Planelo further, I d love to invite you to join our Discord community. That s where you can:
Planelo is an idea-first workspace for developers. Capture, structure and connect ideas across iPhone, iPad and macOS — without the clutter of traditional project tools.

This launch brings a clean interface, keyboard-friendly navigation, encrypted sync, and API keys to turn ideas into actions.
A tagline is the first piece of content a user will see about your product on the leaderboard. It's so important that you get it right. You should be able to get a really solid idea of what your product is just by reading a handful of words.
In the spirit of forever optimising our taglines, I wanted to do a little experiment:
